Overview of lithium batteries and lithium batteries

Lithium battery is a type of battery that uses lithium metal or lithium alloy as the negative electrode material and uses a non-aqueous electrolyte solution. In 1912, the lithium metal battery was first proposed and studied by Gilbert N. Lewis. In the 1970s, M.S. Whittingham proposed and began to study lithium batteries. Due to the very active chemical properties of lithium metal, the production, storage and use of lithium metal have very high environmental requirements. Therefore, lithium batteries have not been used for a long time. With the development of science and technology, lithium batteries have now become the mainstream. Lithium batteries can be roughly divided into two categories: lithium metal batteries and lithium batteries. Lithium batteries do not contain metallic lithium and are rechargeable. The fifth generation of rechargeable batteries, lithium metal batteries, was born in 1996, and its safety, specific capacity, self-discharge rate and performance-price ratio are superior to those of lithium batteries. Due to its own high-tech requirements, only a few companies in a few countries are processing this lithium metal battery. Lithium battery: It is a kind of secondary battery (rechargeable battery), which relies heavily on the movement of lithium ions between the positive electrode and the negative electrode to work. During charging and discharging, Li+ intercalates and deintercalates back and forth between the two electrodes: during charging, Li+ deintercalates from the positive electrode and inserts into the negative electrode through the electrolyte, and the negative electrode is in a lithium-rich state; the opposite is true during discharge. Lithium batteries are divided into lithium batteries and lithium batteries. Cell phones and notebook computers use lithium batteries, which are commonly referred to as lithium batteries. Batteries generally use materials containing lithium as electrodes, which are representative of modern high-performance batteries. The real lithium battery is rarely used in daily electronic products because of its high risk. Disclaimer: Some pictures and content of articles published on this site are from the Internet.
